Using contact lenses requires strict hygiene.

Cut your nails short, don’t let them sharpen, and don’t paint your nails.

Wear contact lenses in a clean place (not in the bathroom)

Open one lens case at a time; after wearing one lens, open the other lens case to get the second contact lens to wear (this step is to avoid wearing the wrong two eyes)

NOTE: “DO NOT USE TAP WATER TO WASH CONTACT LENSES, MUST USE CONTACT LENS SOLUTION!!!”

WEAR CONTACT LENSES BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP AT NIGHT

Wash and dry your hands. Open one side of the contact lenses case, take the contact lenses and put them in the palm of your hand.
Pour contact lens solution on the contact lenses. Use your index finger to clean the lens from the center of the contact lenses to the edge (360 degrees) clean the contact lenses twice, at least 1 minute each time.
Put the contact lenses face up on the index finger. Put a single drop of artificial tear into the lens.

4.Use the index finger and thumb of the other hand to widen your eyes.

5.Looking in the mirror, put the contact lenses on the black part of the eye

Slowly remove your hands from your eyes and blink.

– Contact lenses are worn correctly when covering the other eye, the worn eye can be seen clearly.

– If the contact lenses are misaligned, find the contact lenses and use the tool to take them out and put them back on.

– Do the same with the other eye.

– After wearing it, wash the contact lenses case with hard glass cleaner and turn upside down to air dry.

Clean the contact lenses case and lens remover tool with a separate toothbrush weekly with soap and water. MUST DRY YOUR LENS CASE BEFORE REUSING.

How to remove contact lenses (when waking up)?

Wash and dry your hands with your eyes open. Check if the lenses are on the black part of your eyes.
Put 1-2 drops of tears into the eye, blink several times, put your index finger on the lower eyelid and put up the lower edge on the contact lenses until the contact lenses move quickly over the eyes.
Lens removal device: gently place the lens removal device on the contact lenses (1/3 lower of the lens) and gently remove it. Slide the lens gently out of the tool.
OR: Press the upper and lower eyelids with 2 index fingers. Align the bottom edge of the contact lenses to the lower lashes and the top edge to the top lashes.
Wash the contact lenses and put them in the corresponding lens case.
Put them on their case and fill them with solution.
Change the solution every day.

IF THE LENS FALLS TO THE GROUND:

– When the contact lenses are upside down, use the device to get the contact lenses

– When the contact lenses are facing up, we take two fingers to hold the same position of the contact lenses (hold one edge of it).

– Rinse before cleaning to avoid scratching the contact lenses.
